But I think the language is hobbled by poor error messages from the main compiler, GHC. I've been told GHC has a rather elegant implementation, but that came at the cost of the quality of error messages. https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/54l3ug/readable_error_messages_like_in_elm/ There was a project to produce a somewhat restricted Haskell implementation with better error messages, but sadly that project is no longer maintained. https://wiki.haskell.org/Hugs -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
